Deserter

Deserter was a virtual representation of one of Ratonhnhaké:ton's genetic memories, relived by Desmond Miles in 2012 through the Animus.

Description

Connor came across a man that was to be executed by the British Army, and decided to help him.

Dialogue

Connor observed a group of soldiers about to execute a man.

• Soldier: Call yourself a soldier?
  Did you really think we wouldn't come looking for you?
  Deserter!

After dispatching the majority of soldiers, the last one grabbed the man and held him at gun-point. The man elbowed the soldier in the ribs, giving Connor an opportune chance to shoot him. Afterwards, Connor cut the man free.

• Connor: Are you hurt?
• David: Nothing that won't mend. Thank you, stranger.
• Connor: What were they doing?
• David: This lot was dragging me through the countryside trying to make an example of a deserter... sorry now, who are you?
• Connor: Connor. A deserter you say?
• David: Don't much agree with the fight and I love this country so there you have it. Name's David Walston- my friends call me Big Dave. Might I ask where you live so I could repay the debt when I'm able? Might take us a while, us smithies don't earn much coin these days.
• Connor: Our community is not far from here and we certainly could use the services of a smith. Would you consider plying your trader there?
• David: Well, would make repaying you a spot easier. I just might!

Outcome

Big Dave joined the Homestead.
